Project Management communication.

River Plate is bringing you this series of pages on the theme of communication as a service to our customers, the business owner. We understand the importance of having a healthy repoire with our associates and friends and we want to make our customers aware of the various ways that properly executed communication can benefit them personally and professionally.

The services we provide (Pick and Pack in Southern California, Nationwide Trucking, and fulfillment in California...to name a few) could not be done without our loyal customers. It is because of them that Riverplate continues to grow year after year. Our goal is 100% satisfaction on the work and service we provide to all of our customers.

Project Management Communication / Strategic Planning

Project management concepts and processes are being implemented in the strategic planning of service and operational processes. The techniques involve re-engineering processes with new and innovative ideas and therefore more effective, productive, and
efficient ways of doing business. To realize the comprehensive business goals of the project, management must adapt to the market dynamics, maintain operations and functionality of the organization, implement continuous process improvement, and seek customer satisfaction.

Project Management Communication / The Objective

The main objective of the communication plan is to maximize the probability of successful project realization; benefit work-packages, feedback frequency, and passive or active reporting. In layman’s terms, it will facilitate communication of the right information, to the right people, at the right time.

Getting started:

The best way to guarantee a project's success is to start with a strong foundation. Among the questions you should ask when putting together a project are:

-Is this something we have done before? If so, what did we learn from the last project?
-Do we have the time and resources to do this project effectively?
-How many people will we need? What sort of expertise should they have?
-Will we need to use outside sources?
-Does top management support the project?
-How long will the project take?

Project Management Communication / Resources

Make sure you have a commitment from upper management regarding adequate resources (funding, staff, time, etc.). Also make sure you know exactly what upper management expects in the way of a given project. Communicate your interpretation of their instructions to your supervisors, and be certain you clear up any questions or confusion before the project begins.

Set up a communication network to ensure that everyone is talking with one another; don't allow people to work in a vacuum. Create a schedule with specific dates by which different elements of the project will be completed. Anticipate a few days to allow for unforeseen problems.

Assign someone the task of keeping records of ongoing progress during the project. This information should be shared with everyone who is working on the project.

Project Management Communication / The Course

Once the project is under way, there's a strong tendency to put it on automatic. This makes it harder to fend off potential difficulties, and it cuts off any creative ideas that could enhance the project.

Here are some ways to keep things moving effectively through the project's duration:

After the project is over and handed in, gather everyone who worked on it and conduct a postmortem: what were the best aspects of the project? What were the worst? What mistakes were made, and how can you learn from them? Did you budget enough time and resources? Too much? Not enough? Do you need more or less outside help for the next project? Who demonstrated expertise that had previously been ignored? How can the entire process be streamlined?

Include your outside contractors and consultants in the postmortem and be sure to get their insights.
